There are plenty of incidental pleasures; some of the supporting players—especially Tim McInnerny as a lousy cook and Rhys Ifans as a scrofulous Welshman—threaten to steal the picture.

For all its cheesiness, Notting Hill delivers a very great deal of pleasure...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2019

The ending is happy and ironic in equal measure, but most of the fun is just getting there with the right chemistry and compatibility.

Lately, romance comedies have expanded in running time, doubtless to compensate for their shrinkage in charm, and this is no exception -- it's way too long for something far too slight.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

All the other supporting players are British television stars and all rise to the occasion of this big-budget feature film.

Director Roger Michell uses technical flourishes sparingly but to lovely effect.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Blithe and exhilarating!

| Original Score: A- | Jan 1, 2000

The movie is bright, the dialogue has wit and intelligence, and Roberts and Grant are very easy to like.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Director Roger Michell isn't content to rest on his stars' slapstick laurels, mining instead the more sophisticated, if subversive, socio-romantic pratfalls in Curtis' script.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A romantic-comedy charmer in which you genuinely care about the partners-in-romance.
